Move out.

Do not get frozen in indecision and double mindedness. You know by now that you will receive nothing from this mindset. But if you hear the Lord clearly and lift up your banner, it will become your standard. Think of it. What have I taught you that you have adopted as a family standard or banner. Have you not declared that God has given you and your family a new day and a new spiritual address? Have you not in fact walked away from some former hindrances? You have a new banner and a new standard. You are part of My mighty army in the earth. Angels have been assigned to carry out My word spoken in faith from the lips of believers. Now move out.
Numbers 2:17 “Then the Levites will set out from the middle of the camp with the Tabernacle. All the tribes are to travel in the same order that they camp, each in position under the appropriate family banner.”

There is something you are continuing to ask Me how to handle. You are doing well because the problem has not been completely solved. There are several times you have been tempted to speak up. But you didn’t. It would have been the wrong time, so you are doing the right thing. I know you don’t want to act in the flesh. You want to follow Me. You are not sure you are hearing Me, but you are. Continue to wait on Me. Don’t jump ahead. I know this is hard but keep asking and keep following Me. I will bring a good resolution to the problem. Trust and watch Me.

As you prepare to enter a new spiritual year, you can and must choose what to take with you and what to leave behind. It will benefit you to take all that you have learned through the fiery trials you have endured -- the things that have enhanced your understanding and spiritual strength. And, leave behind all that has undermined your confidence and boldness in My kingdom, says the Lord, -- the things that left you with feelings of condemnation and failure. It will be like sorting fruit when you keep what is good and throw out what is rotten.
Jeremiah 24:3-7 Then the LORD said to me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" And I said, "Figs, the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad." Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those who are carried away captive from Judah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good, into the land of the Chaldeans. For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land; I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up. Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart."




supreme – highest, best, ultimate, superlative, utmost, absolute, unbeatable, unmatched, top, extreme, greatest, matchless, untouchable





I am supreme in authority, beloved. All power, all dominion, has been given to Me, your Savior. Look to Me for deliverance in all circumstances. I am with you. I will see you through.



The days ahead will be wrought with manifestations of the enemy’s making. Do not despair. Look to Me. Your confidence in Me will see you through. Do not get sidetracked, but keep a single eye on your Beloved. I will never forsake you. I am with you, empowering you all the way. Remember this when adversity strikes, when adversity of the worst kind raises its ugly head. I am with you, beloved. I, the supreme authority in all the universe, will be with you always, beloved, always!!!


In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel. (3) Those who are left in Zion, who remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy, all who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem. (4) The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire. Isaiah 4: 2-4 NIV

"The Branch of the Lord" probably refers to the Messiah although some believe it refers to Judah. The point is that during the distress predicted by Isaiah, some people will be protected by God's loving grace. Those protected will be set apart to God when Messiah rules the earth ( Jeremiah 23:5,6; Zechariah 6:12, 13). Their distinctive mark will be holiness, not wealth or prestige.
The holiness comes from a sincere desire to obey God and from a wholehearted devotion to him. Evil will not always continue as it does now. The time will come when God will put an end to all evil.

September 23, 2008

For several days this message on calling families together to pray for our nation as well as for the many needs that our families are facing has been on my heart. For curiousity sake I typed in on google to see if there is a 'family' day in America. I could not believe that the same day as I am writing this message that on Sept. 19th our President proclaimed 'Family' day for Sept. 22nd 2008. I sense this is confirmation of how God wants to use families at this critical moment in History.

Bill Yount


"AS FAMILIES BEGAN PRAYING TOGETHER, I HEARD THE HEART OF AMERICA BEGINNING TO BEAT AGAIN!

In the Spirit as I began to hear families praying together, I sensed the Father saying...."I can hear the heart of America beginning to beat again and I can feel it's pulse!"

I sense the real warfare over our nation is against the very core of any nation....the family! I have heard of many types of prayer alerts for our nation at this time but I sense an urgent call from the throne room for 'families to pray together at this critical time for our nation.' I believe we have overlooked and underestimated the power of prayer in our families. There is something about families that touches and moves the heart of God. Besides Adam and Eve the Lord desired their family to subdue the earth and to bring His kingdom into the affairs of this world. I believe satan feared the seed of the woman for it would have the power to destroy him. "Our children would speak with the enemy in the gate." Psalm 127:5

Before you think that it would be impossible for you to get your whole family to pray together let alone to just be together, let me remind you of what Jesus said, "If any two of you agree on earth as touching anything it shall be done." "One can chase a thousand and two can put ten thousand to flight!" Romans 12:3...."according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith." Since God has given to every man a measure of faith, I believe if you are the only believer in your household that the faith God has given you can help activate their faith since it is already in their DNA. Step out by faith and ask them to pray for you and see what happens! I believe they will feel honored that you asked them and that you actually believe they are capable of praying. And watch what the Holy Spirit does as they even think about praying. I have seen the Holy Spirit hover over unbelievers in my family as I have asked them to pray for me and God has answered their prayer to prove Himself real. Perhaps we have gone outside the family for prayer too often when maybe the Lord wants to work from the inside of our families to answer more of our prayers? I sense with this upcoming election there are many different views in many of our families but could we at least pray with as many of our family members as possible for God to have His way? At least there could be a bonding together for God to use to show us His way as we begin to pray together. It may be clear to some of us already but the atmosphere of prayer with God's presence can turn the hearts of many to God's will for our nation.

"AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE WILL SERVE THE LORD!" Joshua 24:15

I believe as Joshua was declaring to the nation of Israel to choose life or death he was proclaiming the importance of not only his personal choice but also his heart for his family.

I sensed Joshua's heart for every father and mother was for them to decree that their families would serve the Lord also. Was he sensing the power that families hold in influencing the whole nation from being destroyed? He believed if God could save him God could save his family. And I further sense that He was believing if God could save his family, He could also save the whole nation! John 3:14 "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved...and thy house!" I sense that we need to decree now more than ever that our whole household shall be saved and begin to decree over America...."One Nation, Our Nation, Under God!" Our Father still has this dream in His heart that not only your family but a whole nation can be saved even in a day!" Isaiah 66:8 "Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children." Could it be since the garden of Eden that the enemy well knows that families hold the hidden power to destroy his kingdom and deliver whole nations! Is it any wonder why he unleashes hell upon families!

"FOR THERE IS NO RESTAINT TO THE LORD, TO SAVE BY MANY OR BY FEW." 1 Samuel 14:6,7

1 Samuel 14:6,7 "And Jonathon said to the young man that bare his armor, Come and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the Lord will work for us. For there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few." 7. "And his armor-bearer said unto him. Do all that is in thine heart, turn thee ,behold I am with thee according to thy heart."

Again the power of two agreeing turns the tide of the adversary for the Lord to overcome their enemies and save a nation in battle.

"BUILD AN ALTAR AND CALL THE FAMILY TOGETHER FOR PRAYER!"

I don't know about you but many of my own family members are facing difficult times and I have been praying for them but I am sensing recently that the Lord is challenging me to pray 'with' them.

I believe like myself you have been praying for your family loved ones also. But I am sensing an urgent call as parents to not only pray for our children but to build an altar and call the family members together now to pray 'with' them. I sense our sons and daughters hold the keys to some of our own breakthroughs that we as parents desperately need at this time. And that we hold some keys to their healings and miracles that are needed. I sense there will now be a power released as we gather together as families to pray. Again we cannot force our families to pray together but even if one family member prays with us I believe hidden power will be released in our lives, cities and nation and perhaps the earth!

THE FAMILY THAT PRAYERS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER AND HAS THE STAYING POWER TO UNDERGIRD A NATION!

Let's decree together. "As for me and my house and my nation...we will serve the Lord!"
